Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Cost & Weight Reduction (VA/VE): Analyze electrical schematics and physical harness layouts to identify cost savings, weight reductions, and design simplifications (e.g., wire gauge optimization, connector consolidation, splice reductions).

• Design Optimization: Evaluate wiring topologies, harness routing paths, and component selections to improve manufacturability, ease of installation, and field serviceability.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with systems design, procurement, quality, and manufacturing teams to implement engineering change requests (ECRs) while meeting program launch targets.

• Benchmarking & Competitive Analysis: Perform tear-downs and competitive benchmarking on alternative wiring solutions to identify best practices and emerging industry technologies.

• Quality & Validation: Ensure all design modifications comply with safety regulations, signal integrity requirements, and performance standards through structured testing and failure mode analyses (DFMEA/DVP&R).
